Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus:]
Dancin' on the floor
Dancin' on the table
Dancin' on the chair
Dancin' everywhere

Dancin' on the floor
Dancin' on the table
Dancin' on the chair
Everybody come over here (2x)

[Verse:]
Starting off hands down, new sound
Drinks all round and round
That is all I see through, yeah I see you
Walkin' through the door
Standin' up I follow you
Wanna take my chance and move
It's my soul I want to sooth, in double time
You might think I'm there for you
But I tell you it ain't true
Wanna dance my soul
Get out of my way, yeah

[Chorus:]
Dancin' on the floor
Dancin' on the table
Dancin' on the chair
Dancin' everywhere

Dancin' on the floor
Dancin' on the table
Dancin' on the chair
Everybody come over here

[Verse 2:]
Coming off I take time to drink my
Water filled with lime
You say I am full grown, that I'm not grown
Cause I don't need alcohol
I tell you that's not why I'm here
I don't want to disappear
Into a cloud of booze and beer
Like you guys
Said I am here to dance
Not to find some cute romance
If that's all you want
I'm gon' go back and dance, yeah

[Chorus:]
Dancin' on the floor
Dancin' on the table
Dancin' on the chair
Dancin' everywhere

Dancin' on the floor
Dancin' on the table




Dancin' on the chair
Everybody come over here
